Witness frames platform as 'FDR Democrat,' calls for a "new New Deal"
Summary
In a short statement in the 2025 Confirmation Hearings Collection, the witness identified as an "FDR Democrat," invoked FDR's test of a nation and urged the party to pursue large-scale economic programs for working families.
The witness delivered a personal political statement invoking Franklin D. Roosevelt and a popular television quote, saying the party's "north star" should be ensuring enough for people who do not have enough. "I have a very simple answer. I'm an FDR Democrat. I'm a New Deal Democrat," the witness said in the remarks.
The speaker framed the platform as a return to large-scale government action, saying the Democratic Party must again pursue big economic measures so "the economy of the future isn't just working for the few billionaires in my district, but is working for the people I grew up with in Bucks County, Pennsylvania." The comments closed with a call for an "economic patriotism" and what the witness called "the next new deal."
